Akal Takht declares Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann 'Guru Betrayer' and 'Anti-Khalsa'

The Akal Takht, the supreme temporal authority of Sikhism, declared Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann a "Guru Dokhi" (betrayer of the Guru) and "Khalsa Panth Virodhi" (opponent of the Sikh community) on Monday.

The pronouncement followed the Takht's investigation into two controversial videos linked to Mann. The body concluded that the videos were not artificially generated, rejecting claims that they had been created using AI technology.
